Roark Walsh and Tiffany Wilson of Tom Offermann Real Estate are taking a luxury beach property to auction early next month.

One that comes with excellent credentials and outstanding coastal outlook.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house with pool is at 14 McAnally Dve, Sunshine Beach, and goes to auction at midday on Saturday, September 4.

Designed by Chris Clout, built by Damien Davidson and with landscaping by Secret Gardens of Sydney, there are a host of free-flowing living spaces with a north-orientated courtyard, pool and entertaining decks at the heart of the home.

The open-plan living incorporates a beachside-facing kitchen and multiple dining spaces.

As well as an east-facing undercover deck there is a sophisticated lounge with a stonemasonry wood-burning fireplace as the centrepiece.

Upstairs, the main bedroom suite captures ocean views and breezes. The private sanctuary includes a hydrotherapy spa in the ensuite and an impressive walk-in-wardrobe.

On the ground level, is another impressive living space and undercover deck together with a main bedroom alternative with attached ensuite, two queen bedrooms and separate bathroom, plus a separate media area.

The first open house was held on a Wednesday, and Roark said it attracted mainly locals and those who have already located in Noosa.

Some have been renting while they look for property to purchase, even paying Airbnb rates as rentals are in such short supply.

OUTBACK JOURNEY LEADS TO TEWANTIN

Laguna Real Estate’s Warren Evans has not been in this situation before … in his 45 years of real estate he has run out of listings.

This follows the sale at auction on Saturday of the four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 11 Goodchap St, Tewantin.

“I’ve never been in this situation before,’’ Warren said. “Listings are so tight.’’

Saturday’s auction of the original house on 1002sq m saw six registered bidders for the property, in a leafy no-through precinct.

Four bidders were on site and two on the phone which saw a start at $1m then 21 bids later selling at $1.455m.

“It was a terrific auction,’’ Warren said, “and the price was a reflection of how much property values have increased in 12 months.’’

The buyer was a doctor from Central Queensland who has fallen in love with Noosa – the environment, the plants in the garden, the poincianas in the street.

He had just returned from an outback walking journey and was able to be back in time for the auction.

He had seen it before the recent Covid-19 lockdown and the intention is to move in.

Bidders were generally local. The under-bidder was the mother of a daughter living in Sydney.

SIZZLING ACTION AT PEPPERS

Four registered bidders were so eager for the keys to the door of the Tom Offermann Real Estate Chris Miller’s listing of apartment 7404, at Peppers Noosa Resort, they battled it out until the hammer fell at $820,000.

The very private one-bedroom apartment on the top floor and with a serene rainforest outlook, achieved a record price for the resort.

Chris Miller, whose outstanding tally now stands at 25 listed or sold in 20 months, said he was so happy for the buyers, who he had been working with for many months.

“They are Brisbane-based, excited to finally secure their own slice of Noosa and cannot wait to enjoy the property themselves, especially the short walk from the resort to the national park, Noosa Main Beach for a swim and Hastings Street for breakfast.”

Also having a jubilant Saturday was Lauren Chen at 52 Werin St, Tewantin.

After a huge campaign and seven registered bidders, auctioneer Gordon Macdonald called “sold” at $1.310m.

“What a result, and what a response from the market,” said an elated Lauren.

“Old Tewantin is certainly flourishing.

“We welcome our cousins from across the ditch as the new owners, who have been loving Noosa for the past 30 years and will now swap New Zealand for paradise.

“The seller is speechless and thrilled with the result.”

The Mal Cox-listed 1/19 Laburnum Cres, Noosaville, was sold prior to auction.

COSY SETTING CLOSE TO TOWN

With just a short auction campaign a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house with pool at 7 Dunbar Ct, Cooroy, will be put to the market at 11am on Friday, August 27.

The home, on 601sq m and within walking distance of town, is being presented by Jeanette Catalano and Mario Catalano of Hinternoosa.

The sellers were originally from New South Wales, Jeanette said, but due to family circumstances need to return.

They have only held the property a short time so it is in immaculate condition.

“It’s in a good area, close to town, and low maintenance, with no neighbours at the back,’’ Jeanette said.

“The pool is at the front to catch the northerly sun, and creates better use of space as well as being private from the street.

“Judging by the amount of interest we are expecting an exciting auction.’’

Dunbar Cottage has a versatile floor plan with air-conditioned living and main bedroom.

Designed to be wheelchair friendly, it has a large, covered outdoor entertaining area with treed outlook.

There are three good sized bedrooms and two separate lounge areas.

The tiled combined living and dining area features raked ceilings while the galley-style kitchen has been recently updated.

GRACIOUS LIVING

A gracious five-bedroom, three-bathroom, four-car house on 0.4ha with pool at 88 Redwood Rd, Doonan, is set for auction at 11am Wednesday, September 8.

Mark Hodgkinson of Reed & Co is getting loads of interest on the highly-desirable property.

“There has been good engagement,’’ Mark said, “mostly from interstate and locals, with a number of virtual inspections.

“We are looking to go to full auction.

“The character Queenslander has a nice feel.

“People love the location and that it’s acreage living without being full acreage.

“It’s appealing in size, aesthetics and location.’’

Mark said there had been a huge response to the first open house, including a combination of Sydney and Melbourne interest either here or with family inspecting.

Brisbane people are circling and it is attracting Western Queensland interest looking to downsize but not wanting coastal living.

The upper level combines relaxed living with three good-sized bedrooms – a main suite with a walk-in robe and an ensuite.

The lower level features a further two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchenette/laundry and second living area.

It includes period details, hardwood timber floors, and a charming bay window coupled with modern features.

There is a wood fire in the lounge, ducted air-conditioning and solar power.

The property is fully fenced.

A GREAT RESULT

It was a fantastic auction at 2/43 Bluefin Ct, Noosaville, on Monday, August 16, from all reports.

Sam Plummer and Angela Wood at Noosa Estate Agents took the three-bedroom duplex with two-plus bathroom, two-car garaging and pool to the market in the late afternoon.

There were eight registered bidders and a start at $1.6m. Then, 30 bids later, it sold for $1.865m to Melbourne buyers relocating to Noosa.

“There were about 80-90 inspections,’’ Sam said, “and a very relaxed event.

“It was a really good auction, it had a lovely feeling.’’

There were four phone bidders and four on ground – local as well as from Victoria and New South Wales.

ONE SALE LEADS TO ANOTHER …

Scott Cowley and Kelsie Melville at Noosa Estate Agents have had a real run.

After selling the two-bedroom, two-bathroom villa at 5/36 James St, Noosaville, at auction on Friday the 13th for $900,000, they were left with four new listings.

By the end of the week they had sold two, had one under offer and the other under negotiation.

A renovated two-bedroom, one-bathroom townhouse 10/11 Munna Cres, Noosaville, sold a day after being listed at offers over $700,000.

A one-bedroom, one-bathroom loft townhouse at 4/13 Munna Cres, Noosaville, is under offer after being listed at offers over $700,000.

It was one of six and in a beautiful location almost opposite riverside parkland.

A four-bedroom, two-bathroom, two-car house at 21 Safari St, Noosa Heads, has sold to local interest after multiple offers and a price guide of over $1.250m.

“They loved the central location yet it was still quiet,’’ Scott said. “They could see potential.’’

Negotiations were continuing on the two-bedroom, one-bathroom, ground-floor apartment at 214/24 Lake Weyba Dve that was listed at offers over $500,000.
